Seven miles north of Hilton Head is an island about 10 times smaller with a single vacation home for rent.
The island has no stores. No restaurants. No traffic. No neighbors.
Instead, St. Phillips Island — an undeveloped barrier island — is pin-drop quiet, with only sharp sea breezes and roaring ocean waves to break the silence. Its 4,680-acre expanse is thick with unfettered vegetation, rich with wildlife and laced with hiking trails. The raised home, dubbed the Turner House, is hugged by a live oak grove and ocean-facing.
